In July 2008, Kolo travels once again to Serbia as special guests of the professional National Ensemble Kolos 60th Anniversary festivities! As the only North American ensemble to receive this invitation, well wow audiences at the historic Kalemegdan Fortress and other venues across our homeland! The National Ensembles Director Radojica Kuzmanovic will also teach us an exciting new choreography.
In August, Kolo performs all weekend long in St. Louis popular Serbfest. In September, we end off a great summer in Boston.
